Description

Damascus steel is given a wavy pattern by hammer-welding strips of steel and iron followed by repeated heating and forging. Folding the pattern, reminiscent of flowing water, into the steel. Such items were often marketed in Damascus during the medieval period. The reputation and history of Damascus steel has given rise to many legends, such as the ability to cut through a rifle barrel or to cut a hair falling across the blade.

This Damascus steel knife is produced by Anglo Arms. A very ornate lock knife with a nice black pakkawood handle and a decorated steel bolster. This knife makes a great gift coming in a neat presentation box
